Ok, I need to be more consistent in tag use.
#Fishmas day 10 :
Stoneware Lates niloticus head.
I love washes to highlight barely visible texture
(This is after bisque, after applying copper wash, but before higher temp application)

#Crustmas day 10 : my Cubaris sp. Panda King.
I could not find if these were described and under what name ? They were not a few years ago.
This is an older picture, this is a species that mostly hides (at least in my place...)

En France, il est encore temps de nous opposer à la loi #FinDeVie.
On a besoin de votre soutien ÉNORME. Cette loi signe un blanc-seing pour nous exterminer, et je vous jure qu'en fascisme on attend que ça.
Révisez votre histoire, les personnes handicapées ont servi de test pour les chambres à gaz.
A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.

There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.

This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

For the past eight years Jolene Van Alstine has suffered from a rare form of parathyroid disease, normocalcemic primary hyperparathryroidism (nPHPT). It causes extreme bone pain.

Apparently there is such a thing as #trilobitetuesday (I approve), so for the 9th day of #Crustmas not one, but two Ceratoserolis trilobitoides (plus I miss days, so...)

I really believe the tech bros build Ai systems to give confident, if often wrong, answers because that works for them. That’s what they do every day. They don’t understand that most people *need* to be correct, that they don’t have thirteen safety nets to catch them if they make a mistake.

#Fishmas day 5: gyotaku of a Notopogon sp.
This one was made on a molded specimen, so the orientation is wrong, standard should be head to the left.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

#crustmas day one !
A few others from this batch:
Decapod zoea cup/small pitcher.
Pours pretty well, this one deserves some fine tuning and to be tried again.
The glaze inside makes complex swirls, cenote on celadon bloom. On the outside celadon bloom alone, always reliable

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?
